Strib's Katherine Kersten starts saying her good-bye

If Katherine Kersten's latest "Think Again" blog entry is any indication, it appears the Star Tribune's conservative columnist is on her way out. There is no indication she will stick around for another position, so we can start saying our farewells.

Dear Readers: I've been informed that my services are no longer needed at the Star Tribune. In the near future, Think Again will have to close up shop. I expect I'll be able to keep the doors open and the lights on for a couple weeks yet. At some point, I'll have more to say about my plans for the future.

In the meantime, starting tomorrow, I'll be revisiting some of my favorite posts from the last couple years.

Despite our differences - and a few "blog kills" for misbehavior -- I've grown fond of Think Again's many commentators over the last couple years. Every day, I've looked forward to reading your reflections. Now, I'll look forward to seeing your final thoughts -- and the next few weeks' long goodbye.

Kersten didn't respond to requests for comment. To catch up on the latest in Strib cuts, check out our previous post.
